I'm a Brit, but I didn't mind that the narrator was an American. He had a good go at doing an English accent, which I thought was interesting. I don't envy him the job of reading a play aloud. This was included in my membership, so I really can't complain.

an American with an American accent attempting wilde. what a joke. not worth listening to. avoid at all costs if you appreciate quality narration (even within the limitations of his language he's a p*ss poor narrator). audible should warn people of the nationality of the narrator- it matters in an audio only environment.
